Would it be possible to keep the codes and characters and properties but clarify their names? Character names are meant to be displayed to humans, most applications should have no trouble updating them and legacy documentation with obviously similar old names is no big deal.For example, COMBINING DOUBLE FOO could be renamed to COMBINING DOUBLE FOO MARK or COMBINING TWIN FOO in your first set of examples and COMBINING WIDTH 2 FOO in the second set.

About Me

My friends say that I know at least something about practically everything; my enemies, that I know far too much about far too much. Here's the raw material for believing in both views.
This is a personal blog. What I say here doesn't represent the views of my employer, Santa Claus, or anyone else.
